As part of our continued investment in digital delivery across the natural and built environment, we are looking for an experienced Geospatial Data Engineer to design and maintain reliable systems for managing spatial data.

You will enable consultants, designers and engineers to trust, discover and use geospatial data at project scale, helping us deliver timely insight for clients across infrastructure, energy, cities and environmental markets. You will join a supportive and collaborative team of more than 50 geospatial professionals, with access to clear career pathways, mentoring and continuous learning.

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective – in which we encourage individuality to thrive. Our strength comes from how we respect, share and connect our diverse experiences, perspectives and ideas.

• You have experience using geospatial applications such as ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, AGOL or ArcGIS Enterprise.
• You are confident working with data visualisation, automation and spatial data management tools, such as Power BI, Esri Experience Builder, FME, Python, Microsoft Power Automate, SQL Server, Databricks or SharePoint.
• You can translate business or engineering needs into robust, fit-for-purpose spatial and mapping workflows, while managing project work and deadlines effectively.
• You communicate complex topics clearly, collaborate well with internal and external clients, and bring curiosity about emerging digital technologies, supported by a relevant degree or equivalent industry experience.
